A specialized NodeVisitor implementation which searches for a specific node in a hierarchy.

Type parameters:
  • <T> – the type of the nodes to be visited
/** * <p> * A specialized {@code NodeVisitor} implementation which searches for a * specific node in a hierarchy. * </p> * * @param <T> the type of the nodes to be visited */

The node to be searched for.
/** The node to be searched for. */
private final T searchNode;
A flag whether the node was found.
/** A flag whether the node was found. */
private boolean found;
Creates a new instance of FindNodeVisitor and sets the node to be searched for.
Params:
  • node – the search node
/** * Creates a new instance of {@code FindNodeVisitor} and sets the node to be * searched for. * * @param node the search node */

{@inheritDoc} This implementation returns true as soon as the node was found.
/** * {@inheritDoc} This implementation returns <b>true</b> as soon as the node * was found. */
@Override public boolean terminate() { return found; }
Returns a flag whether the search node was found in the last search operation.
Returns:true if the search node was found; false otherwise

Resets this visitor. This method sets the found property to false again, so that this instance can be used to inspect another nodes hierarchy.
